Smart Shoes with Integrated Navigation System for the Visually Impaired Using Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Smart Shoes with Integrated Navigation System for the Visually Impaired Using Artificial Intelligence provide information about the constraints in the way and measurement of the approaching objects. It works as a companion for visually challenged people to improve their navigation process. It uses virtual recognition to recognize the object in real time. By using machine learning, we designed the shoe to adapt to the user's footsteps and to learn the person's preferences. This gives a personalized feel to the user, which is unique and special in smart shoes.

Specification

Description:[0010] The proposed method designs a Smart Shoe for the visually impaired. The hardware
model consists of sensors with camera, microcontroller, communication module, battery and a
feedback system. This is integrated with an Artificial Intelligence to improve the accuracy of
the design. Smart Shoe for the Visually Impaired has sensors to detect obstacles and changes
